The new Hyundai Santa Fe: Big space, small engine!

It is with great anticipation that we present the news about the Hyundai Santa Fe, which will undergo a comprehensive renewal in 2025. The Santa Fe was primarily designed for the North American market and impresses with its spacious interior that can accommodate up to seven passengers. The [] FNP [] reports that the rear optics are reminiscent of the design of the Cadillac Escalade, while the angular shape gives the Santa Fe a striking design that meets modern requirements.

The most popular equipment variant is the Calligraphy Edition, which is in the higher price segments. The tested vehicle with Blackline equipment costs 63,050 euros. In the US, the price for the basic version starts at $35,615. The new availability includes multiple variants starting at PHP 2,410,000 in models offered in the Asian market ( Brianna B. Magrath ).

Design and functionality go hand in hand. The interior is inviting and offers numerous storage options. Particularly noteworthy is the generous storage compartment in the center console. The Santa Fe is equipped with a 1.6-liter hybrid gasoline engine that produces 215 horsepower. With a moderate driving style, consumption is 7.3 liters per 100 km, which enables a range of over 900 km with a full 67 liter tank ( Forbes ).

Innovative technologies and assistance systems

Another advantage of the Hyundai Santa Fe is the numerous assistance systems that make driving easier, especially in urban areas. These include lane departure warning, cross traffic warning and an additional camera to improve visibility. The overall rating of the assistance technologies makes the Santa Fe a safe companion in everyday life. The turning circle of 12.0 meters also ensures that you can maneuver easily even in narrow streets.

The third row of seats, missing from the previous model, offers additional flexibility and is a welcome upgrade for families and those requiring more space. With the rear seat folded down, there is an impressive 80 cubic feet of storage space available.

Fuel efficiency and propulsion

The Santa Fe is offered with both a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a hybrid variant. In total, the hybrid has 231 hp, ensuring a harmonious balance between performance and fuel efficiency. The hybrid system is capable of achieving fuel consumption of up to 35mpg, making the Santa Fe an attractive proposition for environmentally conscious drivers. The Calligraphy equipment also includes features such as nappa leather and a 12-inch head-up display, which enhance the interior even more ( Forbes ).

In summary, it can be said that the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 impresses not only with its design elements, but also with numerous new functions and a flexible spatial concept. However, sales forecasts in Germany look rather poor, even if the Santa Fe is very popular in other markets.
